Dear Windows

So, I heard you're getting a new logo for Windows 8. Now, I understand that you've been making adjustments to your logo with each new version of Windows. Generally this has been fine, making it smoother, shinier, adding colors. It's been advancing with the operating system, and this is fine. However this new logo is... horrible.

It's a massive downgrade. You took away the color scheme that we're all used to seeing. I understand straightening out the edges, after all it is supposed to be a Window and lately it has looked more like a flag.  I know Windows 8 is creating some big changes... but this icon is so different it doesn't even feel like Windows anymore.

People like consistency, I don't see how this is a good idea.
